there's a little less science and a little more art in that...
try some different sizes... it can depend on how many blobs you have in your
tables sometimes, as to how many pages need to be retrieved to answer your
query.
All my tests of a few different sized (complexity) dbs has proven 4096 for
me - I don;t experiment any longer with it.
